Qandeel Baloch’s brother confessed crime & said that I killed her for honour

Islamabad: The brother of internet sensation and model Qandeel Baloch was arrested for drugging and strangling her. Confessing his crime, he said that he is not embarrassed to have killed her because she disgraced the family.

Qandeel Baloch, 26 years old, was killed by her brother at her home in central district of Multan, Pakistan. Her brother name is Muhammad Wasim. He had fled soon after killing her sister.

Multan City Police chief Azhar Akram said that late on Saturday, he was arrested and he confessed to drugging then strangling Qandeel Baloch “for honour”.

Brother of Model, Wasim told a press conference which was arranged by police said that Absolutely, I strangled her for honour.

Wasim said that I am addicted to drug but at the time of killing Qandeel, I was in my senses. Wasim accepted his crime with pride. Now everybody will remember me with honour that I have provided relief to my parents and brothers who were suffering for the last two decades because of her. Wasim hated her sister because she brought disrepute for the family.

Wasim further added that Girls are born to stay at home only and to follow the family tradition and to bring honour to the family but my sister, Qandeel had never done that.

He also said that friends of wasim used to send the videos and pictures on my mobile. Everyone shared pictures and videos of Qandeel with her brother in the mobile market. Killing Qandeel was better than committing suicide so I went with the former plan.
